My 79 cb750k and my buddies 79 cx500.

I think it was the whole lot. Each problem playing its part to destroy my fun. That is my friends cx500. He loves it. It is currently tore down. This winter we are rebuilding it and making some serious changes. This is your facebook page if you want to follow...

It's been a while now. A list of things that were done to the bike to get it running. First off the float bowl needle had a crack in it. So we had another float bowl laying around. Valves needed shimmed. They were pretty bad off and may have never been done. Also the regulator rectifier was no...

It's going to a local mechanic.

On closer inspection and some help from my friends father we my have discovered the problem. The electical connections need some TLC. They seemed a bit dirty and could be making the connection skip if you will. So today after work and some brew I am going to be hitting that job. Updates tomorrow.

That did come to mind. But I was in the garage and it seemed to run fine. Even when reving the engine up. Turned it off for a while then before leaving it for the day decided to try it once more and the same old story. Cracked and popped when I gave it fuel and had to stay on the throttle to...

I just bought this 1979 CB750k. Drove it for a bit then all of a sudden had no power and ended up cutting out on me. The charging rotor was checked and it's good. It will seem to run fine for a bit then it goes to shit all over again. What else could it be?
